You've only got one life, so why not design it around your own personality, dreams and desires? I’m Dan Johnston and I do my best to help you, yes you, create your own version of an awesome life…whatever that means for you. Personally, I value freedom and experiences over money and things and even if the seas are a bit rougher, I’d rather be the Captain of my own ship. The show has evolved a lot since it started. I, and the occasional guest, cover a range of topics from psychology and personality type (you know, that whole ENFP, INFP, INFJ, INTJ thing) to freelancing and entrepreneurship. Since I am location independent (currently a Canadian living in Prague), I also talk about travel and being a digital nomad from time to time.

Here are some tips to massively increase your productivity and keep your focus sharp. Don’t miss future episodes of this podcast, subscribe her ...…

Uh oh… Another dating advice episode! Dating can be tough for introverts. An INFP wrote in and asked an interesting question on relationships. What to do if you want to find true love, but may have (unconsciously!) set rules that might prevent you from getting it? Should INFPs consider a casual fling or focus on lifelong romance from the very b ...…

I'm discussing two topics in this episode: 1. If you're an ENFP, you have to consider your ENFP superpowers in order to choose the right work environment for yourself and be happy with your career. What is the best workplace for us ENFPs? Can we find our happiness in the corporate world or is it better to stick to smaller companies? 2. Personal ...…

Before wasting thousands of dollars and years of your life, step back and consider the reality of these jobs before deciding on a college major...and if you still decide to go for it, be smart about how you approach it.

Reading The Art of The Deal led me to question who I was learning from and laid the foundation for much of my love of personality types.

So you have to ask yourself: When to move on? When should I end a relationship and make room for something better? Do you keep spending time with friends who don't share the same ambitions as you...or do you make the hard decision to end a relationship, or at least minimize it, so you can spend more time with people who will support you on your ...…

When I moved to Europe I found my personality change, as it changed a bit when I moved from one country to another. Being an expat has also affected my friends and social circles which, of course, affects who I am in all levels of life (health, relationships, love, business, wealth, etc). Today I encourage you to think more about where you choo ...…

I hope you find this to be a motivating or inspiring episode that helps you look at things a little differently.

What is the chance of an entrepreneur becoming successful? 50% of ...…

When I was younger, and don't ask me how this was possible being an ENFP, I had (what I thought was) a highly analytical view of the world, all logic. Of course, this "supposed" analytical view wasn't really very intelligent or logical at all, because I lacked a huge wealth of knowledge about myself and human nature in general... So while I tho ...…

If you're an ENFP (or INFPs, you'll relate too), you've done this. Does this ENFP mistake make you a flake? You wanted to respond to an email, you read it, started thinking...and then a week went by.

What we learn in school and our perspective of how our future career will look like might be completely different from what we experience later on our job. If you're an idealist personality type, whether you dream about being a lawyer, a doctor, an architect...you care about the big picture, creative part of the job. This is what generally exci ...…

When things are not going so great, we can fall into the trap of making excuses, blaming our parents and childhood for our failures, and picking at the pieces of the past. Whatever your past hardships, a victim mentality won't help you take control of your life. If you know someone who you think would benefit from addressing their beliefs on th ...…

I want to celebrate this milestone podc ...…

It was always like that and lately I learned that they all are ENFPs. I know it ...…

The theme of this episode is ENFJ strengths. I discuss ENFJ relationships and friendships (and their love to party), a sense of design and knowledge, and the ENFJ determination to reach their goals. It's quite common for ENFPs to test as an ENFJ, or for ENFJs to test as an ENFP so this episode may also provide a little more insight if you're wo ...…
